Linus Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 For those watching on CBC, who thought it was funny when Eric Godard said his favourite player growing up was Petr Sykora? All the camera guys and the others in the background started laughing, I thought it was hilarious.Also, Matt Cooke's kid: "I skipped school."

Cujo Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The Penguins actually did it. They defeated the mighty, mighty Red Wings.Nice to see players like Guerin and Sykora get to taste from the Cup one more time before they call it a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I stayed up to watch the first two periods of the game (it was about 2:30am-ish by the time the second period was over). I hate to say it, but congratulations Pittsburgh... only thing now is that the NHL are going to continue to overhype Sidney Crosby, except much worse than ever.Does anyone know of a cryogenics lab I can hide myself in until the Crosbymania blows over? (Or until Hell freezes over, whichever comes first) PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 -I hate how Detroit fans cheered when Crosby was limping to the bench after being checked hard into the boards. Yaaaay, Crosby's out. Now are cup chances are better. Is that any different than fans cheering any other opposition players being injured after a hit? I saw, I came, I left.

crashcarson15 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 #1: I find it kinda ironic that this Stanley Cup ended somewhat similarly to how the last one ended; flurry of shots at the end, crazy miracle save, team on defense wins Stanley Cup. Pretty exciting game, Detroit definitely made it interesting near the end.A Fleury of shots? lolScreenshot of MSNBC.com's front page - evidently their headline writer either doesn't believe in spell-check, or believes in it too much...The space shuttle launch was scrubbed Congrats to the Pens on winning a great Game 7 in Detroit.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 you know whats funny. i went to work last night, and i was asking people about the game, nobody even knew there was a game 7 or even realize that there was hockey finals going on. then i was commenting on how great it would be to see crosby and malkin win the cup and people were going, "who is this crosby guy?" it was pretty much a grittle bunny scenerio. but i least i kind of got a sense why the coyotes or islanders will be in hamilton in the near future.

hormone Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow, what a season. I cannot believe the team went from near the bottom of the conference to the top of the NHL world. I was glad to see the cup come back to Pittsburgh, not just because I'm a Pens fan, but in the case of Hossa. Usually the greedy athlete gets the trophy and this time it didn't work out. What I'm sick of hearing is that how the fix was in for the Pens. I'm not going to delve into this topic again, and the stronger team probably didn't win, but right now it's the young guys' time.I hate living in Pittsburgh, but right now we have the #1 most livable city, 6 Lombardi's (which no one has), the youngest captain to win a cup, and even the Pirates will be setting a record soon when they have their 17th consecutive losing season Anyway, congrats to both teams and this is how we felt last year Wings fans.F NBC for not letting Wings fans in the Joe on their road games and not letting the outdoor TV on in Pittsburgh. Way to promote the game. FYI: I will not be watching reruns of lipstick jungle anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_cat_eyes Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Congrats to the Pens!!!!! Certainly will go down as one of the more memorable cups in the last little while.Crosby - Youngest Captain to win the Cup. The NHL's MEGASTAR finally gets his championship, the best thing that could have happened for the NHL.Malkin - First russian to win the Conne Smythe and the first player since Lemieux in 1992 to take home both the regular season and playoff scoring titles. He's also a finalist for the Hart Trophy at next week's awards show in Las Vegas. Malkin had the most points in any playoff season since Wayne Gretzky put up 40 in 1993 becoming just the fifth player to lead the regular season and playoffs in scoring, joining Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Guy Lafleur and Phil Esposito as the only players to accomplish the feat.

You should really stop bashing all Wings fans just because you hate the team.I'm no Wings supporter, in fact I was ecstatic to see them lose. That said, I'm giving Red Wings fans the benefit of the doubt. Their team played a fantastic series, a series that easily could have gone their way if a few bounces here and there had gone differently. In a series as fantastic and as close as this one, it's only natural to try and rationalize defeat, and the refs, Bettman, and a conspiracy are all easy answers. Though how anyone can claim there's a conspiracy to keep the Red Wings from winning is lost on me. Plus, these are fans of a team that's been THE favourite to win the cup for years. Now they see this team getting up there in age, and losing to a much younger team and it kind of says "wow, the Red Wings' years at the top, in their current form, may be over."Plus, there's always the shock of having a traditionally dominant team lose in a hard fought series to the team's fanbase. Sort of like the shock of not having their team of choice being the champions.

rams80 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I wonder what Marian Hossa is thinking...Maybe I have to do more myself to win a Stanley Cup? Man...Gary Payton had it so easy.
